We all know the struggle: you share a TestFlight link, and... crickets. Or you launch on the App Store and have 0 reviews, which kills your conversion.
I built TesterBuddy to fix this. It s a reciprocity-based platform where indie devs help each other. You test and review other apps to earn "Karma," which then gets your own project in front of other testers.
Hey PH community! Just wanted to share a quick win. We ve officially crossed the 100-user mark on TesterBuddy!
Looking at our dashboard, what excites me most isn't just the user count, but the activity: 509 pieces of feedback shared across 150 testings. It shows that people aren't just signing up they are actually helping each other build better products.
If you are currently building something and need honest eyes on it, come join us. To the next 100!
The community is growing every single day, and we re just getting started. TesterBuddy is becoming the go-to hub for developers who want to bridge the gap between building and launching.
Calling all iOS Developers!
Are you working on a TestFlight beta? Don t launch into the void. Get the insights you need before your official App Store debut.
I m David, the creator of TesterBuddy. We ve all been there: you spend months coding, you re ready to launch, but you re terrified of bugs you might have missed. Sending out TestFlight links to the void is frustrating.
TesterBuddy was born to change that. It s a dedicated space where developers and beta testers meet.
Got more ideas than you can keep track of? Planelo is your new digital home for projects and thoughts. We ve just cleared the Google review and are ready for your biggest visions.
First of all, a huge thank you to everyone who supported our launch here on Product Hunt. Your feedback has been our North Star.
Today, we have some exciting news to share: TesterBuddy is officially expanding! We ve heard you loud and clear mobile is great, but the web offers a whole new level of flexibility. We are currently in the active development phase of our web version, and we wanted you to be the first to know.
Most apps make you market yourself. When you re anxious, lonely, or just having a rough day, that s the exact opposite of what you need. I built I need a nice guy for a different moment: when you don t want dating, you just need someone to write right now, someone kind, empathetic, funny, or smart, and you want to get to that chat with as little friction as possible. Here s what makes it different: - You start with a simple intent: I need (nice / empathy / humor / intelligence / anyone). - The app matches you using a lightweight good-vibes score system (no endless profiles, no swipe fatigue). - When there s a match, you don t get dropped into a random DM: you get a **proposal** first, and you can **accept or decline**. Only mutual acceptance becomes a real chat. This is a small beta and I m optimizing for one thing: feeling safe + supported fast. If you ve ever wished for a talk to someone decent button, I d love for you to try it and tell me what feels magical vs. what feels off. Beta link: https://testflight.apple.com/joi...

Beat developer blindness before your App Store launch!
I m currently bringing Planelo to Android, and I just hit a classic indie dev roadblock. Google rejected my production access because they want to see more "real-world engagement" during the closed testing phase.
As a solo dev, reaching that 14-day active usage threshold for 20 people is quite a challenge. I m looking for a few more early birds to help me cross the finish line!
Claude is genuinely impressive, but it doesn t remove the need to understand programming fundamentals. You still need to know how systems connect, where data lives, how state is managed, what environments are (dev vs staging vs production), how deployments work, and how things actually run (& fail) in the real world.
For developers, Claude is an incredible accelerator. For non-programmers, it can feel magical at first, but at some point, real engineering knowledge becomes unavoidable.
I train a lot HIIT, strength, functional fitness and I've tried every interval timer out there. They all have similar problems! Too many screens to set up a workout, clunky UIs you can't read mid-set, or they want you to create an account just to start a timer.
So I built FireTime.
It's a dead simple interval timer where you name each interval, set the duration, hit go. That's it. No account, no onboarding flow, no bloat.
A few things that make it different: Build a full custom workout in seconds Each interval gets its own name and duration "Up Next" preview so you know what's next. Audio + haptic cues so you can put your phone down Pre-built templates for Tabata, EMOM, 5x5 and more Apple Watch app included Dark UI that's actually readable when you're sweating
The internet doesn't need another static directory of projects. It needs adrenaline, competition, and a real reason to keep shipping better versions of your work. That s why I m launching DailyPitch.
The Concept: Every day is a clean slate. Every day, builders step into the arena to pitch their projects. And every day, the community decides: Who wins today?
The Reward (Beyond the Glory): Winning on DailyPitch isn't just about ego. It s a long-term investment in your project s growth:
Permanent Hall of Fame: Every winner is forever enshrined in our daily calendar.
The Power of Do-Follow: Your project receives a permanent do-follow backlink directly from our site.
Compounding SEO Value: As DailyPitch grows in authority and traffic, the value of your winner s link increases over time.
The Dominance Bonus: If you manage to win multiple days, you secure multiple unique backlinks, giving your project a massive SEO boost.
The most great ideas hit you when you re away from your workstation. Planelo Web was built to remove the friction between a "spark of inspiration" and "execution."
With our new Public Beta, you get a powerful Kanban-based workspace accessible from any browser. Whether you are juggling game dev, a startup, or a hobby project Planelo ensures no thought ever falls through the cracks.
I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who tried Planelo after the launch and took the time to share feedback, suggestions, and bug reports.
I ve been going through all of it carefully and I m already working on a new update that focuses on fixing the most painful issues first and polishing the overall experience. An improved version with these fixes will be live very soon
If you want to be part of shaping Planelo further, I d love to invite you to join our Discord community. That s where you can:
